PEORIA, Ariz., Jan. 10, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EVO Transportation & Energy Services, Inc. (“EVO”) (OTC Pink: EVOA), an alternative fuel services company and emerging transportation operator, has completed the acquisition of Sheehy Mail, Inc.

Sheehy Mail is a family owned and operated top-25 U.S. mail contractor headquartered in Waterloo, WI.

Having worked with the EVO management team over the past several months, I am confident we are building an exceptional platform to meet the evolving needs of the USPS.”
